Meeting your Credential Requirements is as easy as logging in, selecting your courses, and training on your schedule.

The Idea Bridge is the IAESDP's continuing education and community portal. While courses are available to all members of the Self Defense Industry, Credentialed ESD Professionals must complete annual CEUs in order to maintain their status. The Idea Bridge hosts courses from Instructors from across the industry who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.

All instructors must apply to host their courses on The Bridge and students are encouraged to rate their courses, instructors and class experiences, ensuring that future participants can find the right classes for them.
